Review: "Captain America: The Winter Soldier movie review"

Captain America: The Winter Soldier is one of Marvel Phase 2 movie which includes Thor: The Dark World and Iron Man 3. This is the best entry in Phase 2 so far. It delivers thrills, action and heart.

The story: I wouldn't exactly call the story original. It follows like a spy/conspiracy movie. But sharing the detail will also mean spoiler. As a spy genre, it brings few things to the table but other than that, it is pretty straight-forward. As a Marvel movie, it is refreshing as Marvel is famous for showing super-powered action scenes. There are plenty of action in this but it is portrayed in a thrilling and hard-hitting action. It is also one of the more action-packed movie from Marvel. One of the most thrilling and best action scene in the movie is The Winter Soldier attacking Captain America on a highway. Clearly, the directors want to steer away from the CGI Marvel is used to. Acting wise is alright, it is something you will expect from a Marvel movie. Music wise by Henry Jackman is great and hits on the right spot in the movie.

Overall: It is the first real blockbuster for the year. This should be a refreshing change from the usual CGI superhero movies. The action is more realistic, hard-hitting and thrilling. With more superhero movies filled with CGI like The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and Guardians of the Galaxy, this provides a nice old-fashioned break.

Rating: 3.4/5 Review: "The Spirit of Ramayana" (103 minutes) "A passable Thai horror movie with an interesting concept but weak execution." As a low-budget horror movie, it has enough entertainment values. In the recent years, there are a few strong Thai horror movies with decent production values and there are many mediocre low-budget horror movies. The Spirit of Ramayana is somewhat in the middle. It may not look that polished but its themes and concept are intriguing enough. The story: The narrative is straight forward however its editing made the movie look messy and disjointed. It is a simple story about Mintra, a young dancer who is rejected for the main role because she cannot pull off an evil and sensual side. However, a spirit helps her to unleash her dark side. On paper, it sounds like a supernatural Black Swan. It lacks the emotional depth of Black Swan as the director seems only interested in churning out cheap scares. As the plot develops fur...

Rating: 3.5/5 Review: "G-Force movie review" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It is not all that bad, at least it tries its to be an enjoyable family movie flick. But as usual, Disney movies now are getting haters around the world due to its popular teens and live-action animals-talking movies. So now, when they see a live-action Disney movie whether it has teenagers singing or animals yapping away, they would be put off immediately. Whatever it is, G-force is fun with 3-D. Kids would like the cute animals coming near them. The story: G-Force has a simple story which is also not creative. But that it is not what kids want, they would want to see action blazing through their ways. As this being a Jerry Bruckheimer production, you can expect at least a car chase and some explosion but only more mild. Trevor Rabin did a good work in creating epic music. Though a kid movie, expect some rude humour but also at the same ti...

The Five Best And Worst of 2017 Best 1. Dunkirk This is the top movie of 2017 because it was a pleasant experience in cinema. Watching this in cinema was not an initial intent however the strong reviews caught my attention. It is Christopher Nolan's best. It is short and sweet without dwelling on much. Han Zimmer's thrilling score levitates the movie to a whole new level. 2. Blade Runner 2049 It is another surprise hit for me as I did not intend to watch this in cinema too. The long runtime was partially the drawback for me but I was pleasantly surprised that I was engaged throughout the whole movie. Aside from Dennis Villeneuve's strong direction, Han Zimmer's score is on another level. 3. Thor Ragnarok Last year has been a great year. I did not expect to enjoy the third outing of Thor that much. The first one is so-so and the second one is an improvement however none of them stood out in my memories. Thor Ragnarok is definitely one of the most ...
